Becoming vegetarian…?
I’ve been thinking about becoming vegetarian for a while now. For some reason the thought of eating meat makes me want to throw up now. If I do become a vegetarian what won’t I be able to eat. Aslo how is vegetarian different from vegan?
okay so does that mean i wont be able to eat shellfish (like crawfish) or fish?

Vegans don’t eat dairy products, so they use nuts and soy for their protien sources. If you’re a vegetarian, you can’t eat meat, so you need lots and LOTS of protien. Avoiding meat is only HALF the battle. You need a lot of protien. Things you can’t eat are, well, meat, of course. SOME vegetarians eat fish, but most don’t. It’s your choice if you want to eat fish. You can’t eat ketchup, because, it has beef in it. Same with marshmallows, or any gelatin products.
Also, most vegetarians (like me) don’t eat candy, or sweets, because it’s hard to tell what’s in it. Most candies are actually made with pork rind, surprisingly true. (It was on Unwrapped.) And also because some people become vegetarians because they want to be healthier, so they lay off sugar, too.
Oh yeah, I don’t know if you know people who say this, but I know some stupid people who say that soy is raw meat. (I know, really pathetic.) But…. it’s not. It’s soybeans. Which are from the ground.

When your a vegetarian you don’t eat meat. When your a vegan you eat only fruits and veggies. (I think)

a vegan will not eat any meat, or dairy or anything from/associated with an animal. A vegetarian just does not eat meat.

It’s ethical and I hope with that thought in mind, you’d be able to make it in this meat-eating world.
Vegan-strictly vegetarian or Vegetarian; both steer clear of animal products.
It’s ethical and we would eventually leave less of a carbon footprint. Your choice, ultimately.

If you are a flexitarian vegetarian, as I am, you will be able to eat shellfish, fish and any other seafood. Some flexi-vegetarians eat poultry as well. The Japanese are an entire culture that thrives on being flexitarian vegetarians and has the healthies diet. Fish and seafood are terrific.
You might want to Google "Flexitarian Diets" and check out the websites.
"Flexitarian Vegetarianism: Vegetariansism for Intelligent People"– I’ve seen this said on here and it is true!!!!

You don’t have to follow any "creed" to eat. If you want to eat fish or shellfish, it may not make you a "strict" vegetarian but that doesn’t make you less of a human being. Don’t let people judge and define who you are. Don’t allow them to dictate how you should live based on their own understanding of some word definition. Please yourself and your own well being not the well being of others. If that means living exclusively on plant foods, then good for you. If that means having an occasional serving of fish or seafood, then that’s fine too.

If you wish to be an actual vegetarian you cannot consume animal flesh regardless of what Meg and her alter-egos claim. They are flexitarians, this is true, but they are not a subgroup of vegetarian but a subgroup of omnivore. Here is the official definition of vegetarian as provided by the group that invented the word in the mid 1800’s:

A vegetarian can still eat products that come from an animal such as eggs, milk and honey but a vegan cannot eat, nor use, any products from animals.

You’d have to be careful of things like sweets that contain animal products such as gelatine, as well as some of the things mentioned above.
